As I continue to monitor and enjoy this forum I find you guys to be very impressive with your deeply in"grained" woodworking talents, your equipment, shop & creativity. I sometimes wonder if I had chosen a woodworking career if that would have been more enjoyable and satisfying.
As for me, I continue to plod along on a bird house that I promised my wife when she bought me a band saw for Christmas. I've had surprising little time to enjoy my limited shop, despite being retired, yet a little bit every day or two moves me forward on the BH project. I finding that I'm "occasionally" absent minded, getting ahead of myself, doing work-arounds to cover some lack of tools (like using the drill press as a substitute router which is broken & replacement parts no longer available), and spending time fixing mistakes. One of these days it'll get done, hopefully in a week. Then I can work on my wife for a new router & table and start taking on more challenging projects. Wonder what she'll want for that???
By the way, what's a good mid-level router & table? I'm thinking a plunge router might be good vs. a fixed base.
